With his dark hair and brooding good looks, there's no denying Gemma's friend bore a similarity to her former flame, fashion consultant Stefano Catelli, who she split from in February 2013.

The couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Andalucia, Spain, in June 2010, before announcing they had parted ways just two and a half years later.

And Gemma has since admitted she doesn't know whether or not she fully believes in the institution of marriage in light of her own experience.

She said in an interview with Britain's Marie Claire magazine in May 2013: 'It was a wonderful time and I have nothing bad to say about it.

'Even if they don’t last relationships can enrich your life in some way and then you move on to the next part – it’s all part of the process of living.

'I don’t know how I feel about marriage; whether it’s really necessary. If you are not religious, what does it mean?

'I’d always thought that – then I got married. And now I still believe in what I believed in when I was a child.'

A friend in need: Gemma seemed thrilled to be in the company of her male chum

But the actress still has a romantic within her, and confessed that she still harbours the notion that there is one perfect person, or 'soulmate' for everyone.

Gemma added: 'I look at certain couples and they’re soulmates, you can just see it.

'I like the idea that there is a soulmate out there and that you’ve known each other before, like in a past life you were brother and sister or something. I’ve yet to meet that person.'

A spokesperson for Gemma Arterton declined to comment when approached by MailOnline.
